Tex-Mex
Tex Mex marries the best qualities of American and Mexican cuisines. New York welcomed it to the city in 2015. The craze at the time was the queso. Hence, the frenzy over the fusion fare that is both filling and comforting.
Popular TexMex dishes include chili con carne, tacos, nachos, and fajitas. You can also get an authentic chimichanga in the Big Apple. When you think of TexMex in New York, the charming atmosphere at any of the city’s hotspots is another reason for its appeal. The environment is friendly and homey. Pair this with a cold beer or tequila then you will have one of your best memories during your New York vacation. |

Javelina |
Jalapa Jar is an Austin-inspired breakfast taco that does not disappoint. It is best known for its signature tacos and deliciously unique fresh salsas that the owners are responsible for, after being in culinary school. Jalapa Jar serves four signature tacos filled with various toppings. If you are craving for a taste of bacon, chorizo and even avocado and spinach, go here for a helping of its breakfast tacos. These are the toppings placed in its tacos.
Jalapa Jar has indeed stepped up the game of the city’s breakfast tacos by creating special fillings that go beyond the usual salsa — they innovated scrambled eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, chopped steak, spinach and teta. Nonetheless, those who want the classic taco can go away from the innovated ones and opt for one that has scrambled eggs, mashed pinto beans, homemade chorizo crumbled to perfection and queso fresco. |
